The 100th day of school is just around the corner (well, for my district it is!). This day is so exciting for students and teachers because of all of the fun activities the day lends itself to. I can't wait to see what our elementary buildings do this year! In the meantime, I thought I would share a QR code listening center I put together that could be used leading up to the day or on the actual day itself.

Last month when I sent out my Winter QR Codes to the teachers in our district, I asked the teachers if they would be willing to share how they use the QR code printables in their classrooms or any suggestions for how to make them easier to use for students. When I first started this conversation several months ago with teachers, I had received some great suggestions and made some changes to how I put together the cards - such as adding AR book levels and Lexile levels right on the cards. I know there are many different ways they can be utilized and hearing how they are being used helps me with book selections and how I assemble the "cards." Some of the things teachers had to share as far as how they use them in their classroom: I use them simply for centers... put them on binder rings and students can choose a book they would like to "listen to." Students use these daily as part of "listen to reading." They love them and are always excited when it is their turn to use it! As the year progresses, the reading goals for my students increases. I know that higher level picture books can be hard to find, but I know my students would love them! Most of my students are reading between a 3rd and 5th grade reading level. One thing that is difficult for my students is typing in the title of the book on the iPad when they want to quiz on the book. On the AR book find website (http://www.arbookfind.com), it gives the AR quiz number along with the book level. If there is space on the cards and time in your day, I think that it would be much easier for the students if they could just put in the quiz number rather than making sure they spelled the titles correctly. Just a thought!

As mentioned in the presentation, students used the Monarch Butterfly Life Cycle video to practice their sketchnoting.
Sharing Time!
As I always ask teachers to participant in this presentation and share what they did with their students, I like to do the same myself. It is also fun when you see that you are part of the learning objectives for the day!
Student Work
As I have done previously, when I come and speak to students about sketchnotes, I feel that doing a gallery walk at the end may be one of the most powerful parts of my time with them. They have an opportunity to see what their classmates designed and see a visual representation of their thought process (and see what their teacher created!). I always tell them that there is not a "right way" or "wrong way" to sketchnote, but the purpose of our exercises are to learn to step outside our comfort zone and learn to use both text and images to represent our thoughts and ideas.
Below are some pictures I collected throughout my day in the classroom. It is always amazing to see student growth (throughout the hour) and their amazing creativity! Tweets from the Day
